Yunhai Academy is the highest institution of learning for mortals in Tiandeng City. It is said that all students who graduate from Yunhai Academy are outstanding talents with excellent character and academic performance.
Furthermore, Yunhai Academy never considers background when admitting students; it only considers character.
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at each other, some speechless with astonishment.
The dean of Yunhai Academy is actually the leader of the second-ranked assassin organization in the Tianyuan Dynasty.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken?"
Ah Bao asked incredulously.
"It's absolutely true. Every assassin is an excellent intelligence agent, especially the supreme-level assassins. If we want to investigate, we can find out anything."
He said with a hint of smugness, his killing intent quite evident.
"Okay! Let's go to Wan Haiming's house!"
Immediately afterward, the group entered Tiandeng City. The assassins were hiding near Wan Haiming's house, ready to capture him alive at the slightest sign of trouble.
Wow~ The lighthouse looks so magnificent up close!
Ah Bao looked up at the magnificent lighthouse and exclaimed in admiration.
The lighthouse stands in the city center square, constructed from the strongest black iron.
There is a formation at the top that prevents clouds from forming, thus preventing them from obscuring the lighthouse's light.
Abao asked a passerby:
"Brother, why isn't the lighthouse lit?"
A passerby said:
"The wicks are all used up, and it will take two years to make new ones!"
Everyone nodded; so that's how it is.
Then, the group arrived at a mansion not far from Yunhai Academy.
This is the home of Wan Haiming, the head of the Heavenly Slaughter Hall and the dean of Yunhai Academy.
The gates were wide open, as if they had anticipated Ling Yun's arrival. The vast mansion was deserted, having been dismissed an hour earlier.
Ling Yun and his entourage entered the mansion, passed through the front yard, and arrived at the main hall in the back yard.
At this moment, Wan Haiming, dressed in a green robe and exuding a gentle and refined air, sat in the main seat of the hall.
Looking at Wan Haiming, no one would guess that he was the leader of an assassin organization.
"I know I cannot escape death, but before I die, I want to see my deceased wife one last time!"
Wan Haiming spoke softly, already knowing the outcome when he received the task.
Even revealing his identity was something he did intentionally.
At this moment, Wan Haiming showed no fear of death and remained completely at ease.
However, there was a deep longing in his eyes, not for the world, but for his deceased wife.
Ling Yun remained silent, watching Wan Haiming walk into a dark room before following him.
In the dark room was a crystal coffin, inside which lay a woman of striking beauty.
The woman was already dead, with only a wisp of her soul sealed between her eyebrows.
Ling Yun immediately realized that the woman had gone wrong in her training, and that her soul had been restrained by a powerful supernatural force before she was completely destroyed.
Wan Haiming sat in front of the crystal coffin, looking at the woman inside with eyes full of love, gently stroking his deceased wife's face.
He spoke softly:
"Three hundred years ago, because of me, my wife was implanted with a demonic seed. When the seed was removed, she was nearly destroyed, body and soul."
Only the Heavenly Licorice or the Divine Spring can revive it. In order to find the Heavenly Licorice, I teach during the day and work as an assassin at night.
Three hundred years have passed, and Tian Gan Cao has not been found, but a large-scale assassin organization has been established.
Hehe... Life is unpredictable, the big intestine covers the small intestine.
He seemed to be speaking to his deceased wife, but also to Lingyun.
"Ling'er, your husband can no longer be with you. If there is an afterlife, do not meet me again. I am not a good husband."
As if sensing something, his wife sent forth a series of spiritual thoughts from between her brows, but they were too weak for Wan Haiming to perceive.
But Ling Yun sensed it; she was begging him not to kill Wan Haiming. Over the years, the Heavenly Slaughter Hall had killed mostly evil people and those of the demonic path.
Wan Haiming kissed his wife deeply, closed his eyes, and prepared to die.
"Alright!"
Ling Yun asked, "Who ordered you to kill me?"
Wan Haiming opened his eyes, a look of surprise flashing across them. He did not sense Ling Yun's killing intent.
"I don't know the person's exact identity, but I know he must be a prince of the Tianyuan Dynasty."
His goal is to obtain the divine spring!
Prince!
Ling Yun's face darkened. "It's not just about needing the divine spring; there must be other reasons."
Wan Haiming closed his eyes again, waiting to die.
"Please, Fellow Daoist Ling, don't kill our Hall Master! We are willing to die in his place!"
"We are all unwanted children. It was the gang leader who gave us the chance to live. Although we are assassins, we have never killed a good person!"
"As long as Fellow Daoist Ling doesn't kill the Hall Master, we are willing to do anything for you."
"..."
A group of assassins rushed in, knelt before Ling Yun, and begged for his life.
They were all orphans whom no one wanted, and Wan Haiming took them in and taught them his cultivation techniques.
Although I didn't know Wan Haiming's identity or appearance at that time, I felt his kindness and kinship.
Ah Bao and the others opened their mouths, wanting to speak, but then swallowed their words back.
Ling Yun glanced at the woman in the coffin and said in a deep voice:
"Death is inevitable, but punishment is inescapable. Go to the lighthouse and be its wick for a hundred years, guiding those who have lost their way back home."
Your wife did not cultivate the demonic path because of the power of the demonic seed; instead, she risked her life to extract it. I admire this behavior.
I will resurrect your lover!
Immediately, Ling Yun waved his hand, and Wan Haiming transformed into a lamp wick and rushed to the lighthouse.
The lighthouse lit up again in an instant.
At the same time, Ling Yun flicked his finger, healing Wan Haiming's wife's injuries and reviving her.
"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ling, for sparing my life!"
Wan Haiming's wife rose from the crystal coffin and bowed deeply to Ling Yun.
Then, she looked at the lighthouse and drifted away.
"He has protected me for three hundred years, and now I will protect him for one hundred years!"
All lovers in the world will eventually be united!
Everyone was relieved. They thought Ling Yun would kill Wan Haiming, but unexpectedly he gave Wan Haiming a chance to redeem himself.
"Brother, you're amazing!"
Abao gave a thumbs up.
Ling Yun shook his head and smiled:
"I'm a killer with principles too!"
As he spoke, Ling Yun's expression turned cold. He turned to look at the group of assassins, pointing to the supreme assassin whom he had resurrected twice:
"You will take charge of the Heavenly Slaughter Hall. From now on, you will only do one thing: find out the identity of that prince!"
"Yes, sir!"
The group of assassins vanished instantly.
After doing all this, the group exchanged glances and immediately rushed to a secret chamber, which was the Heavenly Slaughter Hall's treasure vault.
Ling Yun also participated.
The moment they saw the Heavenly Slaughter Hall's treasure vault, everyone was stunned. Apart from some low-level treasures, there was nothing else.
"Have we come to the wrong place?"
Ah Bao scratched his head, looking very unwilling.
"No!"
Just then, an orange cat jumped down from the shelf and said:
"Yunhai Academy branches are spread throughout the Tianyuan Dynasty, and charitable organizations like relief societies are also everywhere."
Yunhai Academy admits its students free of charge; all of Tiansha Hall's wealth is used to maintain Yunhai Academy and the relief association.
The orange cat licked its paws, wiped its face, and continued:
"I'm a stray cat rescued by the dean. I've cultivated myself into a demon. You won't kill me, will you? I chased away all the rats in Sky Lantern City."
